A mantle bridge moves your tokens to Mantle from another network, or back. Here you choose the token you have, the token you want on Mantle and sign once: a cross-chain route handles the bridge and any swap. On October 23, 2026, 0.2 ETH (about $479) from Ethereum arrived as about $477 of MNT in about 22 s.

Mantle Tips
Arriving with only ETH is not enough to transact: swap a small part into MNT for gas.
Mistakes to Avoid
- No MNT for gas on arrival.
- Wrong address format: Mantle uses 0x (EVM) addresses.
- Fake bridge sites: use the widget or bookmarked apps, never links from direct messages; see crypto bridge safety.
